City Color: A Solo Exhibition by Vincent Giarrano
Opening Reception: Friday, May 2, 5–8 pm | Meet the Artist
On view through May 31

Step into the vivid world of City Color, Vincent Giarrano’s electrifying new solo exhibition, on view this May. Known for his masterful sense of atmosphere and narrative, Giarrano captures the energy and nuance of urban life with remarkable immediacy and depth.

Whether it’s a sunlit New York streetscape buzzing with movement or a quiet moment of reflection featuring a self-possessed woman in her daily rhythm, each painting tells a story—contemporary yet timeless. With striking color, light, and a cinematic sense of place, Giarrano invites you into scenes that feel at once intimate and alive.

His work has been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC (part of the Smithsonian) and in London’s National Portrait Gallery—and now you can experience his latest collection right here.

Collector Sharon Jarboe puts it best:
"To step inside a Giarrano painting is to unlock your own experiences and memories of the city."

Don’t miss the chance to meet Vincent Giarrano in person at the opening reception on Friday, May 2, from 5–8 pm. The exhibition runs through May 31. New works will be added weekly, so check back often for the latest additions to this must-see show.

As our special guest for the evening, Scranton Library trustee Laura Downes will speak about the evolution of the library since 1900 and will highlight the special features of the building and its remarkable collection of artwork. As a member of the Library Expansion Building Committee, Laura was involved with the library’s recent renovation and expansion, and she will share little-known stories of Madison’s key community resource.
